The Vestil PP-1572-36 Edge-O-Dock hand pump leveler is a dock-mounted loading dock accessory designed to bridge the gap between the dock and a trailer bed. This unit features a 72 inch ramp width and a 36-5/8 inch ramp length, providing a 15,000 pound uniform capacity to accommodate typical trailer loads. It can be installed without requiring a concrete recess, and it employs a hand pump system for manual lifting of the deck and lip extension. The edge-mounted design installs on the face of the dock and uses a continuous weld and bolted mounting plate to secure the unit to the dock face, with included 2" x 8" x 18" bumpers and installation instructions. The lip retracts automatically behind the bumper face as the trailer departs, ensuring a compact stored profile after use.
Constructed to support reliable operation in material-handling environments, the Edge-O-Dock features a tread plate surface that provides a non-slip gripping action, contributing to safer daytime handling of pallets and goods as the leveler engages with the trailer bed. The product is designed for manual hydraulic operation via a hand pump, making it suitable for facilities that require a cost-effective, mechanically simple solution without external power. It is important to note that the unit is intended to be used with a dock face equipped with a steel edge, and it relies on appropriate mounting hardware and a trailer presence to function correctly.
Typical applications include loading docks where a level surface is needed to compensate for minor grade differences between the dock and the trailer bed. The system is documented to be installed as a fixed dock-edge accessory, with the lip and deck height interacting with the trailer bed to establish a stable platform during the loading/unloading cycle. Suitable for facilities prioritizing a straightforward, mechanical approach to dock level alignment, the unit is delivered as a complete assembly—including hand pump, wall-mount brackets, cylinder, hydraulic lines, and oil—ready for field installation by qualified personnel.
